It's 13F -- Time to Winter Sow!

Seed collecting can be very addicting. My seed collection is starting to get out of hand, and this pic was taken before I bought ten more packs of seeds today (for just $1 at Walgreens). So today, despite that it was below 20 degrees out, I winter sowed a few more jugs. In the kitchen of course.

My little cluster of ghettos greenhouses is growing, but I'm going to need to get busy soon if I plan to sow all those seeds. So far I've planted Penstemon, Coneflowers, Canterbury Bells and Sweet Peas.

Woo hoooooo! Good job! I still have a few more I'd like to start. I've got a couple empty milk jugs, so I think I'll do them tonight or tomorrow. Isn't this fun? :-) Thanks for the link! I'm flattered!

Jennifer - Nope, you leave them out 24/7. Mine are currently covered in snow. :)

It won't work with all seeds, but with a lot of them. The idea is that the seeds will germinate when they are ready. I think orange juice cartons will work, people use all kinds of containers. Wintersown.org has all the details. I'm happy to share what little I know too. :)

Kylee - I have a million more to start and some more seeds to buy! :-) I've already got spring fever, but then again I've got a lot to do before Spring comes!
